DC

In the nation's capital, the impending winter storm is forecasted to drop as much as six inches of snow across the entire surrounding area.

The cold weather caused the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump on Monday to be moved indoors instead of being held outside.

To the north of that, on the East Coast, Massachusetts is expected to get between two and four inches of snow. In Connecticut and Rhode Island, the National Weather Service forecasts snowfall totals of between half an inch and three inches.

Additionally, the highs for the area are only predicted to reach the single digits, offering no respite from the severe cold.

Lake-effect snow is also anticipated with possible snow flurries across the region.

Temperatures have a chance of being cooler than usual in parts of Florida.

Indiana

The surrounding areas of Indianapolis are forecasted to receive some snowfall, with areas expected to get under an inch of snow, according to the National Weather Service office.

However, the region is bracing for significantly low temperatures, with forecasted lows in the single digits.
